Synopsis:

The educational film “The backpack child” is the story of Maider, an underage girl whose mother is in prison. How the relationship between the two of them develops and the child’s own development are both defined by this circumstance. The situation becomes much more severe because as her mother lives hundreds of kilometres from home and, as a result, the girl’s right to receive affection from and to be educated by her parents is denied. The story is based on the real situation that nowadays, like Maider, hundreds of Basque children are enduring.
